Use of certain services accessed at this Website are offered conditioned on purchase of a license.  If you purchase a license, you will be required to enter into a separate written license agreement with ERSI (a "License Agreement") in respect of the licensed services.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS TO CONTENT
The contents of the Website, such as text, graphics, HTML, software, embedded data, programming and other material (the "Content") are protected by copyright under Canadian, United States, foreign laws and international treaties.  Unauthorized use of the Content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

LIMITATIONS ON USE
Any reproduction in whole or in part of any Content without permission is strictly prohibited, except as expressly permitted under a License Agreement or as set out herein.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
All content on this web site is provided "as is".  ERSI makes no warranties, express or implied, and expressly disclaims and negates all other warranties, including without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.  Further, ERSI does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results or reliability of the use of the Content, including, without limitation, the Employment Readiness ScaleTM or otherwise relating to such Content or any material on any sites linked to the Website.
